Quite a lot of these scams seem to terminate in Nigeria, ive seen in local press a few times of elderly people thinking that they can only release thier inheritance to thier children etc through these things, they can sound very official. Unfortunately some DO fall for this, god only knows what this may be funding..................
and the e-mail is Hong Kong based........

You really do have to wonder who would fall for it. He spells his name differently in the body of the text than the e-mail.
